I believe they took that pill off the market.....but too help you dry out they say to follow these directions.
best suggestion would be to bind your chest with a sport bra or a acewrap if you are smaller. Do not touch or stimulate your breast in any way. Do not let warm water run on them in the shower. This will only cause them to leak and produce more milk. Use ice on them for the discomfort if needed. It took me about 2-21/2 weeks to dry out completely. Remember anything that stimulates the breasts will signal more milk to be produced.

I believe it was a shot, and no most doctors do not use those anymore. They had some nasty side effects and I guess they only dried up the milk part of the time, so they weren't even reliable.
If you are having problems with engorgement, etc, and do not want to breastfeed call your doctor and they can give you suggestions as to how to handle it.
From what I remember I was told NOT to obviously stimulate milk production. So don't pump to relieve the engorgement, try not to let the shower spray hit them etc.
Keep an eye on them. Make sure that you report any fever to your doctor or any lumps or red marks as that could be a sign of a clogged/infected milk duct.
Take Tylenol and try to relax. It will only be REALLY bad and uncomfortable for a few days. Then the worst of it will be over.
Good Luck, and call your doctor for more "remedies"

I do not know the name but if you contact a certified lactation consultant they can help you. I will tell you you will not be able to get it now though.

Those pills were proven to cause breast cancer. They don't give them anymore.
